communications services, and to
identify and act on potential threats to

this information collection to identify
the duration, magnitude, root causes,
and contributing factors with respect to
significant outages, and to identify
outage trends; support service
restoration efforts; and help coordinate
with public safety officials during times
of crisis. The Commission also
maintains an ongoing dialogue with
reporting entities, as well as with the
communications industry at large,
generally regarding lessons learned from
the information collection in order to
foster a better understanding of the root
causes of significant outages and to
explore preventive measures in the
future so as to mitigate the potential
scale and impact of such outages.
